{{#seo: |title=Vita Homebrew Apps (System Tools) - GameBrew |title_mode=append |image=imcunlockvita2.png |image_alt=IMCUnlock }} IMCUnlock is a homebrew that allows you to manage the internal user partitions on the PSP2 by modifying EMMC's Master Boot Record. '''Note:''' Please use with caution. ==Installation== Download and install the provided VPK file. Make a backup of all important files in system's user partitions (ur0/vd0/tm0). Open IMCUnlock, accept the agreement, and then choose the option that suits you: *100MB ux0 partition - Creates a ~100MB imc partition, requires formatting it via settings or safemode. *Hybrid ur0-pd0 and 2.5GB ux0 - ur0 becomes imc, makes pd0 and ur0 share the same data region (pd0 = ur0). *Default 2xxx storage configuration - A ~1GB imc partition with 1.5GB ur0, requires formatting imc via settings or safemode. *Default 1xxx storage configuration - No imc, 2.5GB ur0, select only with a memory card inserted. *Dump/Flash the user partition table - Creates/Flashes a partition table, to use with /pc/mbrtool. After flashing reboot and format the new partition(s). Reboot again, the new partition(s) should now be accessible. ==User guide== ===FAQ=== '''Q. What is the largest possible IMC?''' Around 3GB without breaking the important partitions. '''Q. Does the new partition stay after firmware update/reinstall? Yes, the only way to remove the mod is via the IMCUnlock. '''Q. Can I update when a new firmware comes out?''' No, you should wait for someone to confirm that it works/or that it breaks the vita. '''Q. My device is stuck on bootlogo/health warning/spinning circle, help!''' Start in safe mode and restore the system. '''Q. Why the vita does a soft reboot when I remove/insert the mc?''' Patches are applied. '''Q. Is it backwards-compatible?''' Yes. '''Q. Is there any way to recover if I bricked the MBR with a customized partition table?''' Yes, but only if you have enso_ex v4+ installed and running. ===Useful notes=== *Only pick the "1XXX" option if you have a sony memory card inserted. *If you dont know which option you should pick - go for the 100MB one. */pc/mbrtool lets advanced users create their own user partition table. *If you have enso_ex v4+ installed you should be able to recover from any possible lock. *To have a ~3GB imc create a small hybrid ur0-ud0(-pd0) and give the rest to imc. *With any serious issues DM me on twitter (twitter.com/skgleba) ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/imcunlockvita3.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/imcunlockvita4.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/vitahomebrews/imcunlockvita5.png ==Media== '''[HOW TO] Creating a small backup partition using IMCUnlock v3 [VITA]''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvpwwdN4IFQ skgleba]) <br> <youtube>UvpwwdN4IFQ</youtube> '''IMCUnlock v1 setup [VITA]''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9rFzZ59V9U skgleba]) <br> <youtube>N9rFzZ59V9U</youtube> ==Compatibility== Enso is not required, works on all firmwares up to 3.68. ==Changelog== '''v4.0''' *New installer, new flasher, new flashing method, new table generation method. *All EMMC types are now supported. *Now the MBR and partition table is rebuilt instead of being edited. *Added memory card checks for the no-imc option. *Added enso support. *Added a MBR manager for PC. '''v3.0''' *New flasher (wrote new from scratch), new method of flashing. *3 nand types are now supported. *Fixed common fs errors by moving temp files to ur0. *Fixed Backup/Restore utility. *Added support for Slim units. *Added ability to choose imc size between 0mb, 100mb, 300mb, 1gb, 1.5gb, 2.5gb and 2.8gb. *Added ability to create hybrid partitions. *ur0 is now resized instead of ux0-ur0 switch (Slim/TV users). '''v2.5.2''' *Fixed uninstall "Format the mc" loop. *Enso regions are now not overwritten, therefore there is a chance that the user will not brick because of not reinstalling enso after flash. *Updated sig.enp. *Removed compatibility with slims, use github.com/skgleba/imcextend instead. ==External links== * GitHub - https://github.com/SKGleba/IMCUnlock * Twitter - https://twitter.com/skgleba/status/1284067747693985792 * GBAtemp - https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-imcunlock-permanently-enable-internal-ux0-storage-in-1xxx-vitas.511065/ * Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/94qhr0/release_imcunlock_v3_permanently_enablemanage/
